The tiny Chinese Painted Quail, widely known as the Button Quail, is one of
the most widely kept and smallest of all game bird species. They are popular
with cage and aviary bird enthusiasts, who use this species to "clean-up" seed
spilled by hookbills or finches. You will also see this species in many pet
stores, perhaps due to their small, cute size, they are very popular as pet birds.
